Product Description
Aluminum Oxide Point Flame
Move up to an Aluminum Oxide Mounted Point Flame carving stone that cuts faster. The Mounted Point Flame stone is good for rounding edges and surface finishes, or hard-to-reach difficult tight, and narrow angels. Use the coarse grit for general shaping and delicate texturing and fine grit for smoothing and texturing soft carving woods .
The Aluminum Oxide Point Flame carving stone holds its shape extremely well. Grits are identified by color. Coarse is red which aggressively removes tough materials such as steel and pliable iron. Fine is white for extremely fine cutting and high finish on hard material including stainless steel, and glass.
Use the carving stone for medium to fine finishing with subtle texture or mini carvings with basswood and other softwood projects . You can use the Aluminum Oxide Point Flame with Foredom, Dremel, and other power rotary tools. The Aluminum Oxide Mounted Point Flame carving stone works great for all your detailing projects.
Aluminum Oxide Point Flame Uses
When it comes to utilizing the Aluminum Oxide Point Flame Burr, I always like to start by asking myself, WWAD? What Would Aluminum Oxide Do? Well, on steel it would likely just leave a shiny mark.
Malleable iron it would probably dent or mark up. Lucky for us gemstone enthusiasts, Aluminum Oxide is not known for its delicate touch so we should probably steer clear of using it on our precious gemstones.
Glass and porcelain might fair better as Aluminum Oxide can be used to polish these types of materials. And finally, softwood...well that one's a no-brainer. Aluminum Oxide plus flames equal burnt wood in no time. So there you have it - everything you need to know about when and where to use your trusty Aluminum Oxide Point Flame Burr.
Don't say I never taught you anything!
